Muddy Waters - I Can't Be Satisfied

[rh741]

G major. Good tune to play slide for. 

[eldeano1]

is this on electric guitar?

[heavyxpress3000]

@eldeano1 fender telecaster

[PindamonhaMAN]

@eldeano1 nah it's not on a tele

[dustyhatkins]

a god a work

[hopi59]

Anyone got an idea in what tuning he plays?

[ygorkem5]

@hopi59 i think it's open g.

[hopi59]

@ygorkem5 You're right. You play that tune too? Try lowering the deep E to G one octave below the next. That's G1 G d g h d' then. Sounds very much down South...

[epunderground]

This the coolest sound, ain't it. Totally homemade and it thumps better than any big production record. Like you can see all the way through.

[PlagueCraft]

holy crap 2 dislikes

[MrJackandEmily]

The reason I bought a tele.

[Nangus01]

@MrJackandEmily This was actually recorded well before Muddy picked up Telecasters, version in this video was some sort of semi acoustic I'm almost positive.

[MrFuckyouintheneck]

@Nangus01 Called a Resonator

[Nangus01]

@MrFuckyouintheneck Ever played one? No way a resonator was used on this recording. Listen to the version recorded on Hard Again with Johnny Winter playing a National steel, it sounds way different. Clearly it isn't an acoustic used here, my guess was a semi electric of some sort.

[MrFuckyouintheneck]

@Nangus01 Could be either or, I am a slide player and have played a resonator. It could be a resonator with a pick up installed and some dirt thrown on it, or like you said a semi-hollow like the Gibson ES or something of the like.

[muddyguitar]

@Nangus01 No. It was a gold top LP

[wkg55]

@Nangus01 f hole archtop with a De Armond pickup.

[laiholapso]

@MrJackandEmily the reason i threw my tele out... he did you get your tele out of a red trashbin??

[xbertocoaylax]

Not really enough emotion in this style of music (just kidding).

[justfukoff88]

You shouldn't have said just kidding..It would've been funnier.

[mrhoffame]

The one thing I love to think about when I hear Muddy or anyone from Chess is how L Chess was one of first to really accept black artist. In turn he just ended up being the one to offer a Home to likes of...Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Etta James, Lilttle Walter, Chuck Berry, Willie Dixon, so on.

See..sometimes it pays not to be racist lol.

[MrAdelito987]

this music is the proof that aliens do exist!!!!:P its from another planet!!!!

[sbhoselover]

Easily my favorite Muddy Waters song

[YeshuaISMessiah1]

[markrose21]

all of our uncles and grandfathers loved this shit.. The most ironic thing, muddy's biggest fans were all racist white guys.. 

[excelsior544]

[geweher1]

[Zepster77]

@geweher1 i thought he say "slappin" a pistol in yo face" ?

[geweher1]

@Zepster77 listen real hard at 53sec but eh isnt that wat lyrics serches are for? i could be wrong

[stealyourface73]

@Zepster77 - "I feel like snappin' my pistol in your face. I'm gonna let some graveyard be your restin' place."

Just a great line!

[3mimzy3]

dope

[rhawkins003]

Not just African American history. American history. Muddy Waters took 'common music' and made it mainstream.

[gsavage115]

@rhawkins003 In my opinion, there is nothing "common" about Muddy's music; it is sacred. Maybe"Uncommon". Along with Leadbelly and Jimi Hendrix, the three changed American history, I agree. Along with a little help from some white folks like Alan Lomax, Leonard Chess, Burl Ives, Eric Clapton, and some others.

[1954telecaster]

@gsavage115 -burl ives...are you shittin me?

[MsReed2009]

One Dislike For Jeffrey Wright Playing Muddy Waters i Guess...But for Anything Else..Then go Kill Yaself. lol.

[laiholapso]

@chalino19 I would like justin bieber to cover his mouth with a cushion lol

[NoRosesForMe]

@laiholapso hahaha xx ♥

[rubiesse]

Does anyone know who is playing stand up on this?

[gitfiddlejim]

@rubiesse Willie Dixon, but Big Crawford also bassed on a lot of early Muddy.

[Odin029]

@rubiesse This sounds like the original single release so the bass player is Ernie 'Big' Crawford. He played on a lot of early Muddy songs. I don't know much about him though.

[blspence123]

who was the 1 asshole who didnt like this, the only shithead

[BlackAdder7666]

1:22 AWESOME slap bass! :O lol

[stuffyougottawatch]

Do you think we could just make comments about the MUSIC here? huh?

[Music19961235]

@dontdodrugzz1 when someone says that someone is gay they are useally do it to hide there own homisexuality

[kedocom]

@Music19961235 ..... if that rule holds true, do only thieves and murderers accuse others of stealing and murdering?

[Skyman46]

Mckinley Morganfield is sure sounding smoooooth...

[Ucim]

0:37 - 0:39 is it only me hearing a train in his voice?

[BlackAdder7666]

@Ucim A train? lol

[SECtennesseeSEC]

I love Muddy's earlier stuff with an acoustic...bottle neck slide

[gitfiddlejim]

@SECtennesseeSEC
